Information about whether the stand can be dismounted. Usually, this is required for wall mounting. The operating altitude shows the maximum admissible altitude, at which the display will function flawlessly. Above this level it might not operate properly and/or might seize to function. Fairly bright but not to the extent seen by default on most monitors. A well-balanced image overall that is quite pleasing both to the colorimeter and the eye. A bit of extra depth in places due to the generous colour gamut, but no obtrusive oversaturation. The monitor uses the usual RGB (Red, Green and Blue) stripe subpixel layout, which is shown in the image above. As this is the standard layout expected by both Mac and Windows machines, there’s no need to run ClearType as a Windows user or worry about text fringing on Mac systems. You may still wish to run the ClearType wizard to fine-tune according to preferences, however.
changes allowed us to obtain an optimal hardware starting point and setup before software level changes would be In terms of the display itself there’s not too much to shout about in terms of extra features. The “IPS-type” panel – it’s actually Samsung’s PLS technology – runs at 60Hz and has a reasonable 6ms response time, while the 1080p resolution is entirely typical for a display of this size. It also has an anti-glare coating made by 3M, and a modest maximum brightness of 250nits.The ports are down-firing; AC power input (internal power converter), HDMI (plus MHL), DP 1.2a, mDP 1.2a, DP out (for MST Daisy Chaining), 3.5mm audio output, USB upstream and 2 further USB 3.0 downstream ports (4 total). There is an orange plastic port cover over the DP out port which must be removed if you wish to use it. This is to stop you mistaking it for a DP input and wondering why you don’t get a signal when everything is connected up. A DP – MiniDP cable is included in the box along with a power cable.
The bottom portion of the bezel in particular is among the most slender I’ve seen, something which is made possible by the monitor’s controls being situated on the underside of the frame rather than the front. Information of the number of pixels in a unit of length. With the decrease of the display size and the increase of its resolution, the pixel density increases. Information about the number of pixels on the horizontal and vertical side of the screen. A higher resolution allows the display of a more detailed and of higher quality image. The full factory calibration is used here. The difference between this and ‘Standard’ is not profound. The gamma handling is slightly different, although only marginally so (both 2.2 on average) and overall colour balance similar. The colour gamut is also adjusted slightly as explored later, restricting the vibrancy slightly. Overall a very good balance to the image with this setting and certainly a pleasing factory calibration. The contrast performance was largely in-line with the predecessor with static contrast that is about as good as you can expect from an IPS-type panel. The ‘PLS glow’ observed here ate away at some of the detail for dark shades peripherally and was a bit more obvious than the ‘IPS glow’ seen on the U2414H and some other models. This difference, we feel, isn’t something that’s worth stressing about though. Responsiveness was similar if a little weaker than the earlier model, too. There was little input lag to speak of, which is good, and overall the level of perceived blur was much as you would hope for from a 60Hz LCD. There were some weaknesses beyond that, such as a bit of extra blur due to slower than optimal pixel transitions and some slightly ‘dirty’ overshoot trailing in places. As with the ‘IPS glow’ vs. ‘PLS glow’, the predecessor had a slight edge but it isn’t something we think you should let put you off the newer model.The storage altitude shows the maximum possible altitude for secure storing of the display. Storing it above this limit may result in damaging the display.
